Description

This intensely fragrant English Lavender can bloom twice annually when promptly deadheaded after its early summer flush of flowers. A Nichols Garden Nursery introduction, it has gorgeous deep lavender flowers and dark blue calyxes on medium length flower spikes. In the garden 'Sharon Roberts' thin flower spikes give the plant a finely textured appearance that is distinct from other English Lavender types like 'Graves' and 'Hidcote Superior'. (Cutting propagated.)

Planting & Care

Tips for Growing Lavender

Lavender are sun-loving plants that thrive in hot weather and grow best in arid climates. Lavender plants will be taller and wider in mild winter, hot summer climates. The same varieties when grown in cold (zone 5-6) winter climates tend to be more compact. Lavender plants require two-to-three growing seasons to reach mature size.

Lavender plants are at their best in the drier parts of the US like the Great Plains, Intermountain West and West Coast (which has a true Mediterranean climate (wet winters and dry summers). The key is to make sure you choose a variety with sufficient winter cold hardiness for your region. (‘Vera’ and ‘Pastor’s Pride’ are among the most cold hardy.) Yet with proper soil preparation, and planting site selection, Lavender can also thrive in moister, more humid climates like the Mid-West, East Coast and Mid-Atlantic states.

  • Plant in full sun with good air circulation.
  • Plant into well drained soil. Compost-enriched garden loam is alright in drier climates, sandy or gravel soil is best in moister climates. Heavy, poorly-drained clay soils will be fatal.
  • Select a raised or sloped bed, or a planting site against a hot wall or along a cement/asphalt walk or driveway where the reflected heat keeps growing conditions hotter and drier.
  • New transplants need regular watering. Don't let the plants get too dry. Supplemental watering can be greatly reduced the second growing season as the plants become established.
  • When using drip irrigation, place the emitter off to the side of the plant, not right on the root ball to avoid overwatering of mature plants.
  • Fertilize once annually in the fall with a top dressing of Yum Yum Mix.
  • Mulch with gravel or pine needles in arid climates. In moister climates mulching with gravel will protect the crown from excessive moisture and soil splashed onto the foliage.

Smells wonderful

"Wonderful smelling plant. Doing well and a favorite of our children that come to campus."

— Cpb (5/5)

They never bloomed.

"I thought it was going to die but it is hanging on. Hopefully it will eventually be pretty?"

— DeeDone (3/5)

It is growing very well and looks great.

"You did what you promised."

— Paul (5/5)

Love this lavendar

"I love this lavender. I got three a year ago, and they immediately thrived. Bees love them, they're fragrant, and the color is beautiful. They survived a dry, hot summer and then a record-breaking cold winter (minus 20 for multiple days plus 8-10 feet of snow all together) before coming back looking just fine. I'm waiting for it to be back in stock to order more."

— Em M. (5/5)

great lavender

"I got 4 plants to try. One died within a week. All of the others are wonderful. Flowered within 2 weeks of planting. Very nice fragrance. High Country sent replacement for the one that failed. I will be getting more. Thanks HighCountry!"

— Barb B. (5/5)

Great Lavender

"This lavender had a difficult start with me. We had a late spring this year and I had it sent too early. However, when it was finely planter it just took off. Much to my it surprise it did bloom twice!, It really is the best lavender in my Lavender garden, It is very fragrant and has great form. . Will be ordering 2 or 3 more this coming Spring after seeing how it did this Winter."
